Damn Its cool to see Butler's transition from that digable planets jazz hip hop sound to this contemporary trip-hop sound. Glad to have been a fan of your music since the 90's!
He didn't change anything, this is from within. Jazz? Its not abput" names" He's doing how he feels from within. Da buttah fly. This is for healing, Peace to tha Gods
These guys... ahead of their time to a fault in the best way. Hip-Hop Culture is alive and well only now its concentrated and stronger, When you can find it...

A few years ago, i wasnt a rap fan. Since i opened my mind and ears to alternative rap, i've been thinking about becoming a rapper, without forgetting the other genres i love.
+Said Parker Because you can move through it any direction , but time is a cognitive construct that appears linear to our particular perception which makes it appear that time is moving in one way only. . Space is the place and time swings . Peace out Said !
John Barrett ....oh, I believe "time" to be relative to our individual experiences of it, also...no doubt!! Cognitive relativity.. Space=spirit, mind Place=body
David may if u see this you the man! Put us on to shabazz senior year maybe a year after senior year then we came to find out it was butterfly from digable planets🔥🔥🤌🏾
the way this album opens is amazing but when 2:10 comes in during this song and he goes into full alien voice makes me smile every time. if MF DOOM and Quasimoto had a child shabazz would be it. people who say rap today sucks is right, good stuff is rare but when it comes around it makes it feel more special, i mean we get alien rap in the future.
All music that is easy found today sucks is right. The aurical essences are consistent as constant. When one gets around to being exposed now Is going make you feel even that much more special in this coincidental, by design .
Shabazz Palaces is avant garde hip hop. Love it! Also, I knew this was familiar artwork.. I've seen Chad VanGaalen's impressively tripped out art in some Holy Fuck videos.
+Furious Turner I just heard from Baba last night that they're working on a new album right now. He wouldn't tell me when it'd be released to the world though. Wish I could catch them opening for Radiohead in LA. That gig is gonna be dope AF.
idk if anyone came here from adult swim. one night back in 2015-2016, they ran this in the middle of the night at like 1-2am. i come back to this song every once and a while to relive that moment, truly a great night.
I'm just (dis)covering this and I am both joyful and pissed! Yes, Seattle, but this vibe should be marketed in other spaces of the Black Atlantic World (the African Diaspora) and beyond including New York City, Philly, D.C/Baltimore., Chicago, Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston, El Aye, Oakland, Dallas, Miami, London, Paris, Brussels, Johannesburg, Lagos, Dakar, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador da Bahia, Toronto, Montreal, ...do better regarding marketing and promotion. Ish, feel you, see you, love you!
People keep saying ahead of its time.... Get a better understanding of how time works then you can have an opinion on this. It is on point and timeless. Truth. Their lyrics seem simple but they are deep like that lol
This song is so so so genious. I really would like to know more of these songs. I checked out other Shabazz Palaces tracks but they lack that lucid factor I feel in this song.. Please anyone with suggestions for this kind of rap/elektro/soul/trip-hoppy feel?
Guys can someone pls tell me - who is knife knights? Is it a person outside of Ishmael Butler, Tendai "Baba" Maraire or is it both of them or one of them. I`m struggling with this question lately - would appreciate your advice.

@carllonehall7360 well this music is definitely different from Digables Planets
Back when he was still trying to make Hop Hop. This is dope 🙏🏻

The masses dont know shit. U need refined taste to enjoy music like this.

I’d say it’s pretty dead now. It changed to a simplistic shadow of what it was. Rap is now made for kids
this album is gonna end up being court of the crimson king to a generation of geniuses
This is the hottest shit I've heard since Run the Jewels 2 came out.
Truth
bullshit
S0uRcHeeSLe jkolaWOLE Two kinds of people.
Donovaan Three kinds of people. Those who know maths and those who don't.
I like RTJ, Shabazz is a whole different level! Shabazz is best out and it's not close!

"... the time was 11:55", en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock
I was looking for a lyrics in comment and there wasn't any... so here you are, who is also searching for it < 3
Now you could feel all the tension
Building up at the convention
As the hustlers began to arrive
Must have been 9000 or more
That came through the door
The time was 11:55
There were pickpockets and dope peddlers, murderers and thieves
Card shark gamblers with aces up their sleeves
Bank robbers, burglars, boosters and pimps
One more blaster for the streets
I was born on the understanding
Stars slung 'cross the heavens
Some might call uneven
My kind call 'em leanin
Bitch boy, pistol aimin'
Black star, minds are schemin'
Fulfill all our dreamin'
That's what's up this evenin'
Extra vacant bangers
Brim broke chain swingers
Space cake horse race AK that nigga lame
God smile on me favours, baby caught the vapors
Magic golden purp running like the filthy lakers
Self saviour cream chaser in my ride later
Crack baker super real just like '88 was
'92 and '92, in '92 we grinded thru
I was there, you're a square
These do not compare
If I'm there in the square you should come and stare
Bring her too, learn a thing or two how a king'll do
Off the cuff, fill my coffers up, pop my collar up
Gunheat to these gunbeats she gone stir it up
Black stallions pull my chariot
My heart's broken (swag)
Time travel fast and far to the last ocean
Punk potion, pimp pirate pushin' plush prose in
Curtains closin'
You ain't knowin' he was just posin'
Map clonin' that's a no-no where I be rollin'
The leads hot how I pop, see now that's a cold one
Constellation roll-call it's a style sport
Winners take all, holler black for the straps report
We respect Mohamed, peace be upon him
Connecting with the pirates
I know where to find it
These niggas shot Cyrus
I'm the icest, wait up on the bottom on some fly shit
Priceless, but down there at the top I can't find shit
Every time I rock it's a tongue-kiss
E.H. Starling, forerunners and a punk fist
Shout out to the B C C C constellation OC, can't stop stop KD
Triple M ra ra C and KB
Bro bro solo though Shaheed stay free
Yung beat find heat where the cake be
Yung Ike all night with that boy Pete
thank you!
This is exactly the kind of trippy video that this song deserves
Very
good point.
i think they nailed it
you had me at Magic Johnson ballin' on a pie slice surfboard through the cosmos.
Pie slice?
A Pinetree a pizza pie? You never heard that before? You must be eating Little Caesars
Sun-Ra and Hawkwind got me here.
A few years ago, i wasnt a rap fan. Since i opened my mind and ears to alternative rap, i've been thinking about becoming a rapper, without forgetting the other genres i love.

+Said Parker stoked to bump into u here. much love bro
That's my nigga butterfly,he could always flow his ass off on the mic (lol)
Damn I remember this song/video from years ago, my friend and I were sitting in my car on acid and watched this shit was intense lol
BLACK STALLIONS PULL MY CHARIOT MY HEARTS BROKEN
haha i read this right as that line came up
Something about that line
That line always hits
time travel fast and far to the last oceans 🔥🔥🔥
My first time dropping acid i heard this song, and it blew my mind
I love that this has ZERO dislikes. No haters here. Much love to you all!!
actually RUclips hides all dislikes now on every video so you have no idea if there are any or not unless you are the uploader
Somebody missed the memo
David may if u see this you the man! Put us on to shabazz senior year maybe a year after senior year then we came to find out it was butterfly from digable planets🔥🔥🤌🏾
Shabazz Palaces has a nice buzz that goes "above the radar" at times. S.P. was mentioned by Asap Rocky, Tyler, the creator, and others.
Ishmil is fire from digable planet to S.P. wow!
although rap is not my style,this is the kind of hip-hop i like. Way ahead of the rest.
it's the difference between rappers and Hip Hop technicians.
Check out Eyedea
pikadienteCHINGON that hipster shit
jkolaWOLE
You're on a shabazz palaces video.
Just to add more great artists, Cronstructus Corporation, and Cloud dead.
Michael Goldbach Eyedea is dead.. People have to move on.
One of my favorite animators. He has such a unique vision.
Hey, have you ever seen the animation for 'The Rip' by Portishead? You might dig it.
COOL G RAPP space layout man
Awesome video. It's like if you took acid and closed your eyes while listening to this song
Fire
Is that Sun Ra in the end of the video?
yup
makes me wanna ditch this trash society and pursue an ascetic lifestyle with a few friends, burning blunts and riding the vibe.
this is such an awful comment bro i know its 3 years old but you just ruined this video for me
@@ramo5442 what??
it's called unemployment my friend

Too ahead of it's time 🤪
That was oddly satisfying.
Swoooon.

Shabazz Palaces is avant garde hip hop. Love it! Also, I knew this was familiar artwork.. I've seen Chad VanGaalen's impressively tripped out art in some Holy Fuck videos.
Trippy video! Made me feel high.
When that bass drops at 0:42.
Spliff time
One of them is lil Tracy’s dad
I love just watching a few Clipping videos, then venturing over to the related videos list and striking fucking gold..
Absolutely amazing. I love this new album and the new Flying Lotus album 'You're Dead'
Word.
Kevin Brackens obviously alex grey inspired
Yess
Straight psychedelic also that warriors reference
still waiting for new Shabazz Palaces music 😭😭
+Furious Turner I just heard from Baba last night that they're working on a new album right now. He wouldn't tell me when it'd be released to the world though. Wish I could catch them opening for Radiohead in LA. That gig is gonna be dope AF.

Gutterbaby Jonez wait do you know him?
JULY! 2 albums! and a book! and a Tour!
this shit hits hard
Just found this dude and he’s on another level. Next time I smoke out this the first shit I’m putting on.🔥
Do this....then put on Gorillaz/ Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach w Snoop. Sublime chill.
I’ve never freaked out about an artist like with Shabazz Palaces. like this shit makes me GIGGLE WHAT THE FU KC ITS SO GOOD.
Sub Pop has great taste in hip-hop!... It's not easy weaving through the B.S. to find original talent.
idk if anyone came here from adult swim. one night back in 2015-2016, they ran this in the middle of the night at like 1-2am. i come back to this song every once and a while to relive that moment, truly a great night.
This tune is dope!!!! DAMN!
I'm just (dis)covering this and I am both joyful and pissed! Yes, Seattle, but this vibe should be marketed in other spaces of the Black Atlantic World (the African Diaspora) and beyond including New York City, Philly, D.C/Baltimore., Chicago, Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston, El Aye, Oakland, Dallas, Miami, London, Paris, Brussels, Johannesburg, Lagos, Dakar, Rio de Janeiro, Salvador da Bahia, Toronto, Montreal, ...do better regarding marketing and promotion. Ish, feel you, see you, love you!
Da Buttah. Eye know it ain't about names, this comes from within
i now know all the answers
Seeing Magic on that pie was probably the best thing ever !
Oh cool Chad VanGlaalen did the art for this. He's great.
damn ive been sleepin
Watching this on Toonami right now lel
***** GOTTA GET A GRIP
I was born with thick skin.
Whaaaat, this was on Toonami? That's sick. The guys over at Adult Swim have done a lot of good for music.
+Some Russkie Who gives a shit?
***** awe, clearly you care too. :)
I love everything about this! Salute "Butterfly"! Shabazz Palaces im a huge fan!
But have you seen it on shrooooomz?
Does anyone what the woman is saying??
Help a sista out.
What an amazing album. This is a masterpiece. This is expanding the space time boundaries of music. What else can be created beyond this?
People keep saying ahead of its time.... Get a better understanding of how time works then you can have an opinion on this.
It is on point and timeless. Truth.
Their lyrics seem simple but they are deep like that lol
thank you shazaam
